How are you handling the JVZoo integration with s2member since it’s not a standard gateway? (at least not in my version)

I would think that you should be able to hack whatever plugin or script you are using to process the notification from jvzoo to do this.

You are right that it is possible to do it that way, but s2member is built to work with the gateways it currently supports and it assumes that the user will be new or logged in for upgrades and that is how it manages everything.

If you have a special script the person who wrote it should be able to make this adjustment for you.

Yes, it is possible, but you will have to do some custom coding.

I basically did this with my BASIC shopping cart plugin… feel free to check out the source code and hack it up! lol

See that’s my concern with a report like this. If they just look through your source files and don’t actually test the site, then they could be making mistakes. See, s2member typically uses wordpress database interaction which (to my understanding) is already protected. However, if this scanning type doesn’t recognize that, then it would flag it.

I would be interested in seeing some examples… hopefully Jason or someone will see this and get the info and let us know the status.

Thanks,

Have you tried using the s2member->includes->translations folder (there are instructions in there).

That would be the easiest I think if you can figure it out.

From the .txt file:

== Translations ==

s2Member and s2Member Pro are now equipped with support for front-end translation, using standardized WordPress® methodologies; i.e. we’ve implemented the use of `_x()`, and various other translation routines for many aspects of s2Member’s front-end interfaces. For instance, things like Profile panels, Login/Registration Fields, and Pro Form integrations; as well as error messages displayed to Users/Members. Translation support for back-end admin panels provided by s2Member will come in a future release, along with more extensive translation support for front-end aspects.

Please note, this is but our first step toward internationalizing s2Member and s2Member Pro. Look for further updates/improvements to come in the future.

Like WordPress® itself, we chose to use the GNU `gettext` localization framework to provide localization infrastructure for s2Member®. GNU `gettext` is a mature, widely used framework for modular translation of software, and is the *de facto* standard for localization in the open source/free software realm. If you’d like to translate s2Member and/or s2Member Pro, please use the POT file found inside `/s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot`, which contains all translation entries for both the s2Member Framework *( i.e. the free version )*, and also for s2Member Pro.

The file: `/s2member/includes/translations/s2member.pot` will be updated with each new release of s2Member.

If this is your first translation of a WordPress® plugin, [this article](http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#Localization_Technology) and/or [this article](http://urbangiraffe.com/articles/translating-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/), might be of some assistance. When you are finished translating the `s2member.pot` file, place your completed `s2member-[locale].mo` file into this directory: `/wp-content/plugins/`; and please feel free to [share your translation](http://www.s2member.com/forums/forum/community/) with the rest of the s2Member® community.

Quick Tip: If you only need to translate the front-end of s2Member, please ignore entries in the `s2member.pot` file with a context matching `s2member-admin`. Those sections of s2Member are only seen by site Administrators; they are NOT used in s2Member’s front-end integration with WordPress®. Skipping over translation entries with a context matching `s2member-admin` can save you time.

I’m not sure if this is what you are trying to do, but take a look at the solutions I offered here:
http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/allowing-non-members-to-read-a-bit-more/

Here is the synopsis:
Add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_shortcode('dw-post-more','dw_post_more');

function dw_post_more($atts,$content){
	extract(shortcode_atts(array("level" => 0),$atts));
	
	if(current_user_can("access_s2member_level".$level)){
		return do_shortcode($content);
	}
	else {
		return '<a href="'.S2MEMBER_MEMBERSHIP_OPTIONS_PAGE_URL.'">Get Access To More Of This Content</a>';
	}
}

Then wrap your “hidden” part with this shortcode.. like this:

This is the public content.
[dw-post-more level="0"]
This is the private content. You can change the level to match whatever level should have access to the info.
[/dw-post-more]
This is public info after the private info.

Hope that helps,

Dave

Yes there is…

This is a very common issue for people starting out with s2member.

S2Member’s “access restrictions” build on each other. They assume that if you buy a higher level, then you should have access to everything else “below” it.

You can change this functionality very simply though by adding “custom capabilities” to your posts and sign-up buttons/forms.

For example…

If you want Level 1 access to only be accessed by Level 1 users, you can add a custom capability like “only_one” to those pages as well as the level one access restriction for that post/page.

Also, you will need to add this custom capability (ccap) to your payment button or registration form to ensure your level one users have level one access AND the ccap.

One other cool feature of using ccaps is that you really don’t have to have levels 2-4… just make payment buttons for level 1 with different ccaps and add those different ccaps to the correct pages that those “levels” would have access to.

In this way, the basic form of s2member can virtually be limitless on its “access levels”.

I hope that makes sense.

There is also a video about doing this here:

You can do it manually by editing each user or if you know mysql, you could probably run a few statements in phpmyadmin to take care of it, depending on what exactly you need.

Otherwise, manually is the only way to do it.

Dave

My first thought was to hook into the payment processing but I don’t see any hooks in the file. I’ll have to check some more.

If there is a hook that gives you access to all the data from the form, you could set the “ra” value = to the custom field… but I’ve not found a good hook for it yet.

Dave

have you tried entering the actual url to your home page into the s2member => general options => Login Welcome Page => bottom box “Special Redirection URL” ?

I *think* that would keep s2member from “protecting” it…

Let me know if that doesn’t work.

Dave

The minimum required data is username and email. So if you don’t add any payment info and you set them as a specific level, it *Should set them up with infinite subscriptions, from what I understand.

I’ve never tested this and you might want to do so with one or two fake users, just to see.

Hope that helps.

Dave

Check out this part of your PRO install:

s2member => API/Scripting => Pro API for Remote Operations

Hope that helps,
